I worry about you. ;)

Jamie - best advice I can give you is to try going down to a store and just smelling different types of cologne until you find one that works. Most of them have a list of ingredients on the back (and from my own unscientific research, sandalwood is a biggie in the man-smell world) and I usually conjure something up from that.

The best guy smell ever is soap. My way-over-sensitive nose can't stand cologne (or perfume, for that matter). And after being around the hard working men of a farming community, soap is best. ;)

Soap. I, as a guy, will never wear cologne or heavy deodorant because of the fact that not everyone wants to taste the air around you when they walk by. It's disgusting when encountering especially heavy scents, it makes me want to pull a Super Soaker out and hose them so the scent stops rising. I feel the same way about perfume as well.

Post futbol (soccer) match sweatitude.

Beer breath (I know, sounds weird - it was an in the moment thing).

Soap's good.

Aqua di Gio at the base of the neck.

Yeah, leather. At the wrist.

Sun, sand, ocean.

The dirt from a baseball diamond on tanned arms.

Grass. Not the smoking kind. The kinds that says that this guy is not too cool to get on the ground.

The Aeropostale cologne is amazing. I'd personally spray it on myself.
As is the smell of Hollister Co. clothing--just bought.

Leather and grass as well as musk or moss smell real good.

I agree - every time I walk by Holister I get all dreamy eyed. If I put the brand name in my ms, it would date it though, right? And some may not know what Holister was... I'll have to sniff out the ingredients...

Does he really have to smell like anything? I feel like hot, smelly boys are over-done. Maybe if she's particularly close to him, but if they're just hanging out and she can smell him, they might have an issue.

Under the right circumstances, unwashed sweat shit hits me hard. Or if he's the kind of guy who'd use his little sister's shampoo, that's a nice detail. Or if he works in some kind of inherently smelly industry, like iron welding or leather...doing shit to, then fine. But don't have him randomly smell like vanilla. He's a boy, not a cake.

Apparently the SoCal perfume for girls is what the employees swear by. It's not the same as the room spray they put on the clothes, though: you can't buy it. :(

I think it's musk and sandalwood and some vanilla. Something along that range.

A guy won't smell like anything unless he works around a particular smell (fast food), is about to go in for something formal (interview), or he just got out the shower (soap). We don't randomly slather on smelly stuff then go bump into people all day.

If only this were true. There are guys and girls at my school who must bathe in cologne/perfume because they reek of it. It's not a pleasant effect. I don’t really care what people smell as long as they are 1) clean (so soap would be nice) and 2) don’t make me sneeze because they’ve drenched themselves in Axe body spray.

Leather, slight tinge of tobacco, and Grey Flannel cologne. Never met another man who wore that cologne, either, except for this one guy.

My friend Richie wore Grey Flannel. I never dated him, but he smelled nice.

Odd little coincidence...I never dated the guy I knew who wore it, either. Outta my league, fo sho. Supernice, sweet guy, though.

No, it can't just be 'soap'. It's gotta be IRISH SPRING soap. Because that's a soap you can SMELL and you know it's CLEAN.

Either that or PineSol. :D

Whatever it is, do NOT make him smell like outside of an Abercrombie and Fitch. I nearly pass out every time I walk by.

Skin and soap.

Ralph Lauren's Polo is lovely, or it was. The man I knew that wore it turned out to be an arse.

I had a mortal enemy in high school who drenched himself in cologne from Abercrombie. Now every time I walk past that store I want to hit something. Plus, it's just ridiculous. So overwhelming it hurts.
